Thank God I thought I’d get eviscerated by everyone for this. Some of the moments with O’Dowd were nice, but I may have come close to laughing twice.Jorge wrote:Oh man, painfully unfunny shit. I couldn't believe how much people liked that movie, nothing about it worked for me

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

All the hokey CG graphics are bad, like looking into the trash can. And everything with Marla is a miss for me; I can't believe I didn't see the twist coming the first time I saw it. They telegraph it so hard in many of her scenes.
Everything else rules and I think its core themes are actually better now.
This looks so unbelievably hokey and twee. I can barely get through the original short, I can't imagine watching 90 minutes of this.tragabigzanda wrote:Marcel the Shell was cute
